A prospective cohort study on effects of mandibular setback with or without maxillary advancement for skeletal class III malocclusion on sleep-related respiratory parameters.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to investigate changes in sleep-related respiratory parameters before and after orthognathic surgery in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion.
methodsAdults with skeletal class III malocclusion and treated with isolated mandibular setback or bimaxillary surgery (maxillary advancement and mandibular setback) were recruited. Sleep-related respiratory parameters were obtained with type III sleep study. Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) was also recorded. The pre- and post-operative (6 months) data were compared. Correlations between these changes and pre-operative characteristics were analyzed. Subjects were categorized into three groups based on changes in the respiratory event index (REI) and 3% oxygen desaturation index: Δ ≤ -2.5, -2.5 < Δ < 2.5, and Δ ≥ 2.5. Amounts of surgical movement and pre-surgical parameters were compared among the 3 groups.
resultsThirty patients with an average age of 25.4 ± 5.0 years were recruited. Eleven patients underwent isolated mandibular setbacks while nineteen received bimaxillary surgery. Pre- and post-operative sleep-related respiratory parameters were not significantly different in the total samples, and when analyzed separately according to surgical procedures. Pre-operative ESS were correlated with the changes in REI (p = 0.01), average blood oxygen levels (p = 0.01), and snoring percentage (p = 0.04). Additionally, this study found that patients with a significant decrease in REI (ΔREI ≤ -2.5) after surgery had significantly higher pre-operative REI (6.2 events/hour) compared to those with minor REI changes (2.6 events/hour).
conclusionThere was no significant change in sleep-related respiratory parameters following mandibular setbacks with or without maxillary advancement in this study. TRAIL REGISTERED: This study was retrospectively registered and approved on February 11, 2025, under registration number TCTR20250211002.
